Coal or Wood for Fuel.

In actual heating power ii is difficult to
obtain exact flgurss of comparison between
coal and wood, because the quantity of
misture may vary to the extent Of twenty
five or thirty per cent, This would reduce
the value of the wood to about the same
extent. The most careful experiments
show that ton OF anthracite is equal to
about ono cord and one-half Of mixed hard
woods, chiefly oak. This supposes the
wood to be well seasoned. A ton of an
thracite, in some cases, may be fully equal
two two cords and one-quarter Of soft wood,
such as hcmlock, white pine, etc. In
Massachusetts,, a number of experiments
made few years ago.. showed that. a ton
of hard coal was equal TO one cord and
sixth-tenth Of hemock. 5f.s, ,..l.
One ton of some of the poor western
Goals is not equal to cord of hard wood.
Taking all the estimates together, a ton Of
hard or anthracite coal is about the
same in heating power as ton of the best
bituminous coal. A ton of 1900 pounds
of either kind may be taken as equal to
about one cord and one-haif of what may
be called good, dry. merchantable hard
wood. o.
When wood, cut and split, sells for S4.00
per cord, it is equal in price to coal at 50
per ton. But when the price of wood in
four-foot lengths, is two-thirds that of coal.
then the coal is much cheaper, because the
saving and splitting must be added.
Economy of handling, must, in a great
many cases, be taken into account. A Goa!
fire in magazine stove will burn all day
in ordinary weather without attention. An
ordinary fire needs attention, perhaps,
twice day. For an equal amount of heat,
two or three times as great a weight OF
wood is required il coal were used. The
following is safe rule by which to asceI-
tain when to buy coal; Add one-half tc
the cost OF the wood, and, if the amount
equals the price of coal per ton, coal is the
cheapest, besides being more 'eadily handl
ed. The wood should be measured in tn,
stick, and not after it is cut and split.

Plymouth Rock Chickens.

For market the Plymouth Rocks are gen.
eral favorites. A cross of the Plymouth
Rock on Asiatic, or large, coarse, common
hens, makes superior chick for market
We have had pure-bred Plymouth Rock
chicks to weigh two pounds when nine
weeks old, but they were forced as much as
possible and kept in the best condition. A
difference in the weight of number of
chicks, amounting to half pound in ten
weeks, with prices at forty cents pound,
is quite an item, and it is very important,
therefore, TO use breed that is not only
hardy, but one which grows rapidly. The
Plymouth Rocks answer well for this pur-
pose. Their plump bodies, bright, clean
yellow legs and attractive appearance cause
them to sell rapidly and bring good prices.
We may mention that it has strong rival
in the WyaddOtte, but the latter does not
always breed strictly true, and the Plymouth
Rocks have been tried in all climates and
under many different conditions. AS lay
ers the hens are far above the average and
make excellent sitters and mothers.

More than twenty years ago
Joseph Dodds, of Bloomingdale,
ILL.,, married Miss Cynthia
Walker. Shortly afterwards
they removed to Iowa, where .
Dodds, because of some domes-
tic trouble, forsook his young
wife, taking with him their only
child, a little boy but a few
old. The heart-broken
wife and mother returned to her
parents, expecting never to see
her child again. Years passed
with no tidings, and she finally
married Green Clay, q farmer
living near her old home, but
second marriage proved equally
unfortunate, and she soon left
her second husband, and has
for many years lived a lonely
but upright life. Not long since
Postmaster Waggoner received
a letter from a young man at
some point in Kansas, inquiring
if Mrs, Dodds was still living.
The letter was referred to the
lady in question, who at once
recognized the writer to be none
other than her long lost son.
She Immediately communicated
with him, and a few days ago,
after a separation of twenty
years, they were reunited.
Another romance originat-
ing in the Custer massacre has
been discovered in connection
with the gold watch worn by
Lieutenant Crittendcn, who also
perishcd by the vengeful bullets
and knives of Sitting Bulls peo-
pie. The watch a present which
his father, General Crittenden,
had purchased in England some
time before. 1t became the
booty Of a Sioux warrior, who.
in due season, after crossing the
lire, sold it to a Canadian ranch
or or farmer. The purchaser,
Suspecting there must be some
history connected with 1t, wrote
to the maker in England, de-
scribing the watch and stating
its number. The maker wrote
back that the watch had been
sold originally to General Crit
tcndcn, of the United States
Army. Thcreupon the Canad-
ian communicated with the gen
oral, who promptly repurchased
he watch, and it now hangs in
his bedroom in New York city
Il sad memorial of the fate that
bcftll his brave boy.
A pretty little Boston bride

sheckel of Christ's time, which
she had seen in a collection
would be welcome. 1t was a
costly trife, but the indulgcnt
husband purchased it, and ma
dame at once proceeded TO hel
ieweler to have it mounted with
pearls as a brooch. At the ap.
pointed day she called for the
now, to her, priceless ornament
but to her horror the relic haC
been deprived of all its sacred
